Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to study on the factors affecting polycystic ovary syndrome in young women. In the patient inquiry form, women’s socio-demographic characteristics such as age, weight, height, economic status, employment status, education status, smoking and alcohol abuse, chronic disease, exercise status, family history of cancer, and menstrual irregularity were questioned. Results: The Pearson’s Chi-Square Test of Association found a significant relationship between the menstrual irregularity and suffering from PCOS (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Finding the cause of the disease and the factors that aggravate the symptoms of PCOS is a way to provide treatments and solutions for this disease in person-centered medicine. This study found that the index of exercise and employment status, BMI, and chronic disease status of women affect the diagnosis of PCOS. Therefore, it is very important to determine the nutritional habits of women and increase physical and balanced activities to have a normal BMI. It is recommended that these patients become more aware of the cause of the disease, diagnostic criteria, symptoms, effective factors, and long-term and short-term health problems of PCOS in order to manage this disease with low-cost solutions such as diet and exercise.
